The Dandy Warhols' critically acclaimed fourth album, WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE is set for release on August 19. The album - which was the #1 Most Added release at college radio - features the hit single, "We Used To Be Friends," which has begun scoring at multi-format radio outlets nationwide.

In other news, the Dandys - who have been personally chosen to support on David Bowie's upcoming European tour, kicking off October 7th in Copenhagen, with dates running through a November 26th gig at London's Wembley Arena - recently returned from Toronto, where they shot an appearance in the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures film, Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen. The film sees the band performing the WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE track, "The Dandy Warhols Love Almost Everyone." Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen, which stars Lindsay Lohan (Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap), is set for a Spring 2004 release. The band also has a new song, "The Last High," in the new Tomb Raider movie.

WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE has already been met with early critical praise. "Smarter, bouncier, and more full of insidious electronic hooks than its predecessors," declared Blender, while Alternative Press hailed the album's "relentless rhythms and boisterous basslines," noting that "the disc's quick-paced tunes...convey a party atmosphere with group chants, call-and-response interaction and 'whoo-whoo!' exclamations."

WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE is highlighted by guest appearances from Duran Duran vocalist Simon LeBon, and renowned Chic guitarist/producer Nile Rodgers. The album - which takes its title from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s classic 1968 short story collection - also features studio contributions by such producers as the legendary Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex) and LeBon's Duran Duran bandmate Nick Rhodes. The 12-track collection was mixed by Jeremy Wheatley (Spice Girls, Boyzone, Sophie Ellis Bextor), and includes programming and mixing by Yoad Nevo (Daniel Beddingfield, Sugababes, Ash).

The Dandy Warhols are: Courtney Taylor-Taylor: guitar, vocals, keyboards; Peter Loew (formerly Holmstrom): guitar; Brent DeBoer: drums, vocal harmonies; Zia McCabe: bass, keyboards, percussion.
